I have activated patterned security lock but the slider lock screen is still there which is very annoying. How can I disable the slider lock screen?
I'm not sure if there solution for this as everyone was looking for one aswell.
You may try AntiLock apps. Some of my friends are using this. Temporary solution.
Some months ago I came across a lockscreen idea which didn't put a separate lockscreen on the top screen, instead it simply locked the visible screen as is, and allowed display updates to show as though the screen isn't locked. A simple gesture unlocks the screen. I thought it a great idea but could not disable my own phone's lockscreen to use this app. Now I can disable my phone's own lockscreen but now I can't find this app!
Help please?
Found it, invisible lock. For some reason play store didn't bring that up when I searched almost those exact terms.
i don't like the stock lockscreen because it is very limited as far as customization is concerned. I like a picture and a clock and notifications off to the side or where ever i want to place them. The problem is that I cant move the time/clock around so that I see the full wall paper i am using for the lockscreen or a if I do like a 3rd party lockscreen, when i activate it the lockscreen does not allow the express me panel to show on the edge when the screen is locked.
So my question is does anyone use a 3rd party locscreen that is very customizable, replaces the stock lockscreen, has pin or gesture unlocking and does not, as a redundant measure, have the stock lockscreen runing underneath it. Right now i am using Next lockscreen and it lays ontop of the stock. It has no pin or gesture to unlock it to go straight to my home screen. Therefore, i have to swipe out of it, then the stock is underneath with the pin authorization. A double move. But this is the only way my expreess me panel stays active. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Hey guys, I just got a Note Edge (loving it btw) and was wondering if there are any lock screen replacements with decent notification features (like Snaplock) that also allows unlocking by fingerprint? I quite like the look of the normal TouchWiz lock screen so something like the DashClock Widget would be perfect since it adds notifications by way of widgets instead of a whole lock screen replacement but I just found out that TouchWiz doesn't allow widgets on the lock screen apart from the default digital clock. Can someone offer some suggestions? Either a lock screen replacement that allows fingerprint scanning or some way to allow widgets on the lock screen after I root it. Thanks a lot!
Go setting....lock screen...under screen lock select finger print.

It's already built into the phone and works great for me. I also like how when using PayPal you can swipe your fingerprint to pay. Can't wait till you can lock different apps with the fingerprint, this would be super useful.

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly. I've already registered 3 fingerprints and they work quite well in the lock screen (a lot better than what I had read from some accounts prior to purchasing the phone). What I would like is to have notifications on my lock screen like what you'd get on an iPhone or through lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next Lock Screen. The problem is, when I turn on one of these lock screen replacements in the settings, I get two lock screens. First the replacement lock screen appears with all the notifications and then after unlocking that through either swiping/pattern/pin (they don't support fingerprints), I get the system lock screen which allows me to use my fingerprint. Of course, I can just turn off the system lock screen but like I said, the other lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next don't support fingerprints.

How can u set up paypal?
With the upgrade to Lollipop, you can now get notifications to show on the lock screen (Settings > Device > Sound and Notifications). Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't allow widgets to be used on the secure (fingerprint, PIN, pass, etc.) lock screens, so I am unable to put a weather widget on my lock screen. And since I have a corporate Exchange email account set up on my phone i can't opt-out of using a secure lock screen.
Like all of the other unfortunate AT&T customers that purchased a Note Edge, I got screwed over without the ability to root my device. I would really like to set my phone up the way I want it, as it should be.
And while i'm *****ing, why can't Samsung set up one of their Edge panels (briefing maybe?) to wake the edge screen and display notifications for SMS messages? Am I missing something, or wouldn't that be an ideal function to have with the edge screen? It's nice that they will allow sms notifications on the main lock screen now via lollipop, but why not put them on the edge screen where they should be on a device such as this?
If i'm missing something and there are ways to resolve my two complains please feel free to fill me in.

Thanks for that. I'm still trying to get my phone to update to Lollipop so maybe that will solve everything. I have a factory unlocked phone bought in Australia so from what I read, the update should've rolled out ages ago but it never seems to see it. Anyways, I'm downloading the update manually now via sammobile so let's see!

Totally agree with you. Even if we don't get whole text messages scrolled across the Edge screen, at least light up a few pixels there to show us there that there are notifications waiting. I have a cover that doesn't allow me to see the notification light next to the logo but has a slit cut out for the Edge so that would be perfect.
"Show notification icons on the Always On Display screen if a screen lock type has been set."
Why on earth is that specific requirement needed at the end? I want it activated during AOD even without using some type of lock screen.
Is there a way around this? I just want the small notifications to pop up underneath it.
AOD clearly works without having a screen lock.
I was wondering the same thing. I finally landed on using fingerprint to unlock just so that I could see notifications on AOD.
